Kensie Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium Kensie is a hybrid tea selected for flower quality and a bushy, mid‑green foliage structure that supports an exclusive, container‑grade finished product route. As an own‑root propagation base, it underpins predictable, renewable production cycles that suit nursery networks and integrator systems serving public‑realm and retail‑reseller channels. With low‑intervention maintenance, documented resistance to the main foliage diseases and H7 winter hardiness to around ‑26 °C, it offers reliable field or container performance even in colder UK regions exposed to strong winter winds. The remontant, double‑flowered blooms combine a cream‑yellow palette with a soft lemon centre and a light, fresh‑fruity fragrance, supporting premium cut‑stem and flower‑bed positioning. Bush‑trained NEONATAL material with 3–5 framework canes integrates efficiently into a premium 5–7 L container programme, moving from root establishment in year one through structural shoot build‑up in year two to full ornamental expression from year three.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Kensie is a hybrid tea rose marketed as Kensie Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA®, with no separate registered exhibition name reported; the name is the diminutive form of a female given name. |
| Origin and breeding |
Discovered in Germany in 2015 and introduced by PharmaRosa® Ltd. (Hungary); detailed parentage, breeding company beyond pharmaROSA® and formal registration or introduction years are not provided. |
| Awards and recognition |
Not provided; no competition, collectors’ or global awards are listed, so decisions should be based on the documented technical profile rather than external show recognition. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy rose with moderately dense, mid-green glossy foliage, height about 100–140 cm and spread 80–110 cm, moderately thorny; self-cleaning behaviour has not been characterised in the available data. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double flowers with 26–39 petals, ball to pompon form in corymbose inflorescences; remontant flowering with a second flush described as similarly abundant, supporting repeat ornamental value. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-yellow blooms with a soft lemon-yellow centre; newly opened flowers show warm golden–lemon tones fading outward to cream–ivory, then straw-yellow to almost white as colour retention is relatively poor. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Lightly and subtly scented with a fresh, fruity character; as a double-flowered hybrid tea the dense petal structure limits pollinator access, so it is not specifically positioned as pollinator-friendly. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally forms rose hips with a diameter of roughly 10–18 mm; further details such as precise shape and colour are not provided in the current dataset. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy approximately to -26–-23 °C (RHS H7), corresponding to Swedish zone 4 and USDA zone 5b, making it suitable for cold-winter environments. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds and cut-flower use, with low maintenance needs; supplied bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes and best routed through premium container production, targeting 5–7 litre pots. |
